Is Virat Kohli right to back the role of an 'anchor' in T20 cricket? Though the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) stalwart is among the top run-getters in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, his strike-rate has left both fans and experts scratching their heads at times. As Royal Challengers Bangalore suffered a 7-wicket defeat at the hands of Delhi Capitals on Saturday, Kohli's intent became a big talking-point once again. Now, a stat has emerged which suggests that the RCB batter's take on the role of an 'anchor' might not be all right.

Watch: Wriddhiman Saha Comes Out To Play With Trousers Reversed. Hardik Pandya, Mohammed Shami Go ROFL

Despite holding the status of a 'red-ball specialist' Wriddhiman Saha continues to prove his worth in the shortest format of the game. The Gujarat Titans wicket-keeper batter went all guns blazing in the match against Lucknow Super Giants, slamming a 20-ball half-century on Sunday. After an exciting outing with the bat for Gujarat, Saha committed a 'fashion crime' as he came out to the field while wearing trousers in reverse.

Ex-India Cricketer Bats For This Gujarat Titans Star's Selection For WTC Final

Team India will be without the services of star players Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul in the upcoming World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia. While Pant is still recovering from the injuries sustained in a car crash last year, Rahul ruled himself out of the summit clash due to a thigh setback, which he had picked up during an IPL game earlier this month.

"Forever Regret": Ex India Star On Sandeep Sharma's No-Ball Blunder

The Indian Premier League (IPL) continued to produce jaw-dropping moments in the 2023 edition of the league. On Sunday night, Rajasthan Royals' joy turned into agony in a matter of seconds as pacer Sandeep Sharma had to re-bowl the final delivery of the match because of a no-ball. The eventual final ball of the match was then hit for a six by Sunrisers Hyderabad batter Abdul Samad, enabling his side's 4-wicket victory in the match.
